All those supposed "popups" you can disable. "Bloatware" you can uninstall and are added by the laptop manufacturer not Microsoft, and "advertisements" only happen once on a fresh install.

Almost like those supposedly tech savvy people don't know what a setting is.

It is fine if you prefer Linux over Windows, but don't go about just straight up lying about it.

A short while ago i've decided to switch to linux. Just a sudden urge to freshen my experience. You know what? It's easier to setup a fuckig linux than to disable all those shit on windows. Idk, it just was always so tiring for me to open regedit and gpedit, find all this bullshit i need to disable, and so on. I don't know ho, and why, but even simple configuration is a pain. And even after that you won't be able to uninstall windows defender, for example.

Also, tiling window managers rule, just as the ability to configure the keybindings. And the file system is not as cancerous: there are no bunch of different appdatas programdatas and lots of other places where the apps' cache is stored.

I hope more people will start to switch to linux, so microsoft won't be a de-facto monopolist. Even after that I won't switch back tho, linux became far more comfortable for me, and it became so after a weirdly short acclimatisation period.
